My ISP repeatedly cannot find hackforums.net - Orgy - Nov 28, 2010
Multiple times today, when trying to access HF, my browser is redirected (by my ISP) to dnssearch.rr.com/?q=hackforums.net&con=nxd, where it says "Sorry, we couldn't find hackforums.net"
Just thought I'd bring it up, in case it's a DNS problem that needs to be fixed. Not sure if anyone else is having the problem, I didn't see any threads about it.
EDIT: Just happened to me again, here's a traceroute:

If you don't know how to run a traceroute, open your command line (Most of you know this as cmd), type in traceroute hackforums.net (or tracert on Windows) and then wait for it to finish. If you're using the Windows command prompt, right click the screen, click "Mark" then highlight the entire traceroute and press enter. That will copy it to your clipboard. From there, just paste it here with your ISP and country.
UPDATE:
I seem to have found a temporary fix for Road Runner users.
http://dnssearch.rr.com/?cat=pref&con=dns
If you visit that page, and disable the first option, that should fix it.

Who is your ISP? Is you internet access limited?

If you clicked the link, you'd see my ISP is Time Warner Cable - Road Runner.
No, this is the only site affected.

It's not a MySQL problem. It has nothing to do with that. If you have no idea what you're talking about, please refrain from typing. Most likely the only one that will be able to provide any insight to this is Omniscient.

ISP's usually do that to websites.
I use to not be able to visit one forum because suppooseably it was down but my ISP was just blocking it. Until I filed a complaint .
